Unquali�ed Opinion
Emphasis of Matter Items
Same as an Unquali�ed Opinion with no �ndings, but the
Auditor-General wants to bring something particular to the
attention of the reader.
Quali�ed Opinion
The Auditor-General expresses reservations about the fair
presentation of the �nancial statements. There is some
departure from the Generally Recognised Accounting Practices
(GRAP) but is not su�ciently serious as to warrant an adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion.
Adverse Opinion
This is expressed when the auditor concludes that the annual
�nancial statements do not present the municipality’s �nancial
position, results of operations and cash �ows in line with
Generally Recognised Accounting Practices (GRAP).
Disclaimer of Opinion
The Auditor-General does not have all of the underlying
documentation needed to determine an opinion. For example,
the lack of underlying documentation and the amounts in
question may be so great so that it is impossible to give any
opinion on all.
An Outstanding Opinion
Means that the Auditor General raised queries with the
municipality and therefore has not submitted another opinion.

A municipality's cash balance refers to the money
it has in the bank that it can access easily. If a
municipality's bank account is in overdraft it has a
negative cash balance. Negative cash balances
are a sign of serious �nancial management
problems. A municipality should have enough cash
on hand from month to month so that it can pay
salaries, suppliers and so on.

Cash coverage measures the length of time, in
months, that a municipality could manage to pay
for its day-to-day expenses using just its cash
reserves. So, if a municipality had to rely on its
cash reserves to pay all short-term bills, how long
could it last? Ideally, a municipality should have at
least three months' of cash cover.

This indicator is about how much more a
municipalty spent on its operating expenses, than
was planned and budgeted for. It is important that
a municipality controls its day-to-day expenses in
order to avoid cash shortages. If a municipality
sigi�cantly overspends its operating budget this is
a sign of poor operating controls or something
more sinister.
Overspending by up to 5 percent is usually
condoned; overspending in excess of 15 percent is
a sign of high risk.

which actual spending falls short of the budget for
capital expenses. Persistent underspending may
be due to underresourced municipalities which
cannot manage large projects on time.
Municipalities should aim to spend at least 95
percent of their capital budgets. Failure to spend
even 85 percent is a clear warning sign.

Unauthorised expenditure means any spending
that was not budgeted for or that is unrelated to
the municpal department's function. An example is
using municipal funds to pay for unbudgeted
projects. Irregular expenditure is spending that
goes against the relevant legislation, municipal
policies or by-laws. An example is awarding a
contract that did not go through tender
procedures. Fruitless and wasteful expenditure
concerns spending which was made in vain and
would have been avoided had reasonable care
been exercised. An example of such expenditure
would include paying a deposit for a venue and
not using it and losing the deposit.

The current ratio compares the value of a
municipality's short-term assets (cash, bank
deposits, etc) compared with its short-term
liabilities (creditors, loans due and so on). The
higher the ratio, the better. The normal range of
the current ratio is 1.5 to 2 (the municipality has
assets more than 1.5 to 2 times its current debts).
Anything less than that and the municipality may
struggle to keep up with its payments.

Employee-related costs are typically the largest

The normal range for this indicator is between 25%

Municipalities must guard against spending too
much on sta� while also making sure they have

By looking at how much money a municipality
planned to spend, and how much they actually
spent, we can understand more of what happened
during the year and what challenges they might
have had.
A municipality might underspend - spend less than
planned - if they did not get as much income as
they planned, or if they did not manage their work
properly. There might also have been other
external disruptions.

By looking at which items the municipality spent
more on, and which they spent less on, we can get
a sense of which services might have had funding
challenges, or disruptions that slowed work in that
area.
Some kinds of spending is also more �exible than
others - if the municipality has less money than
planned and has payment that can not be adapted
to circumstances, the more �exible spending
areas will have to su�er.

Municipal Money is
an initiative of the
National Treasury,
which hosts
extensive amounts of
municipal �nancial
data, submitted by
municipalities. In
order to share this
data with the public,
National Treasury has
enlisted the help of
an external partner,
Code for South Africa
– an NGO that
promotes informed
public decision-
making using
technology.
Municipal Money is a
free, impartial,
politically neutral,
online tool to �nd out
about how municipal
funds are spent. Our
aim is to help citizens
understand where
public money is spent
and whether this is
within acceptable
norms, not to
comment on how it is
spent. In doing so we
hope to empower our
citizens, strengthen
civic oversight and
promote
accountability. We
hope that Municipal
Money will be a
useful tool for
everyone, regardless
of their political
persuasion and their
views on public
spending.
